Lance Armstrong dismissed a New York Times report as a hatchet job after Frankie Andreu and another anonymous former teammate admitted using EPO to train for the 1999 Tour de France. Both riders said they never saw Armstrong use banned substances and he defended himself from any link to doping. The Times published the story online, while Armstrong was in Minneapolis for a Presidents Cancer Panel meeting.
